I cannot fathom why this article was titled this way. I skimmed it solely to find out what diabolical damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't, torment-your-soul "choice" could be involved. That's what the movie "Sophie's Choice" was about: A mother was offered the choice that she could escape a trip to the German concentration camps and save her own life and the life of one of her two children. Pick which child lives and which child dies. (The other "choice" in the movie being between a nice but very young man and the abusive drug addict she was already with. Having lost both her children and being a very tormented soul, she chooses the drug addict and, iirc, they commit suicide together.)

As a literary reference, this title is a completely sucky choice in words. Though perhaps the author is, say, half my age, has never seen the movie and has no idea anyone would interpret it as a literary reference. (If so: "Get off my lawn!")

Literary references aside, I personally would prefer the submission title to provide some context and description of the content, it would make it much easier for me to scan the front page.

As a side note, the book was really much better than the movie.

I enjoyed the movie "Sophie's Choice" and I have to say SPOILER ALERT for the above comment.

(I'm hoping the poster edits his comment to include a spoiler alert phrase)

Sorry, I no longer have editing powers. Too much time has passed. (I logged in just to do as you asked, I don't normally log in from work.)
